Liver biopsy for assessment of suspected drug-induced liver injury in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis clinical trials: Expert consensus from the Liver Forum.

Although there are no pathognomonic features, histologic evaluation of suspected DILI during MASH clinical trials may alter patient management, define the pattern and severity of injury, detect findings that favour a diagnosis of DILI versus MASH progression, identify prognostic features, characterise the clinicopathological phenotype of DILI, and/or define lesions that influence decisions about trial discontinuation and further development of the drug.

AASLD practice guidance on risk stratification and management of portal hypertension and varices in cirrhosis.

Pubmed   Journal   ReadQx 

Validation of AGA clinical care pathway and AASLD practice guidance for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in a prospective cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Validation of the AGA clinical pathway in a prospectively recruited cohort with T2DM revealed a low false negative rate and avoided specialty referral in a large percentage of patients. The AASLD pathway with FIB-4 + ELF resulted in a high rate of specialty referral, which improved with utilization of higher ELF cut-points and may serve as an alternative for primary care and endocrinology clinics without access to VCTE.

Recent trends and risk factors associated with Clostridioides difficile infections in hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Rates of CDI among hospitalized patients with IBD had initially increased, but have declined since 2015. Increased comorbidity, large hospital size, public insurance, and urban teaching hospitals were associated with higher rates of CDI. CDI was associated with increased mortality in hospitalized patients with IBD. Continued vigilance, infection control, and treatment of CDI can help continue the trend of declining infection rates.

FMO2 ameliorates nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by suppressing ER-to-Golgi transport of SREBP1.

In hepatocytes, FMO2 is a novel molecule that protects against the progression of NAFL/NASH independent of enzyme activity. FMO2 impairs lipogenesis in HFD or CDAHFD-induced steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis by directly binding to SREBP1 and preventing its organelle translocation and subsequent activation. FMO2 thus is a promising molecule for targeting the activation of SREBP1 and for the treatment of NAFL/NASH.

A prospective, multicenter, three-cohort study evaluating contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with cirrhosis.

AKI risk after CECT in cirrhosis is low, not significantly different from that of the general population and of the cirrhotic population unexposed to ICM. It mostly consists in mild and rapidly resolving episodes of renal dysfunction and it is not associated with tubular kidney injury. Patients with ongoing infections appear to be the only ones at higher risk of AKI. Impact and implications Nephrotoxicity due to intravenous iodinated contrast media (ICM) in patients with cirrhosis is still a debated issue, as the available evidence is limited and based on very heterogeneous studies, often conducted on small and retrospective cohorts. In this prospective three-cohort study we found that intravenous administration of ICM was associated with a low risk of AKI, similar to that of the general population and to that of patients with cirrhosis unexposed to ICM. Patients with ongoing infections were the only to have a significantly increased risk of CI-AKI. Therefore, the actual recommendations of performing contrast imaging studies cautiously in cirrhosis do not seem to be reasonable anymore, with the exception of infected patients, which have a significantly higher risk of CI-AKI.

Higher TP53BP2 expression is associated with HBsAg loss in peginterferon-alpha-treated patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Rs7519753 C allele is associated with an increased probability of serum HBsAg loss in patients with CHB post-Peg-IFNa treatment and elevated hepatic TP53BP2 expression. TP53BP2 enhances the response of the hepatocyte to IFN-a by suppressing SOCS2 expression. Impact and implications Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) remains a global public health issue. Although current antiviral therapies are more effective in halting disease progression, only a few patients achieve functional cure for hepatitis B with HBsAg loss, highlighting the urgent need for a cure for CHB. This study revealed that the SNP rs7519753 C allele, which is associated with high expression of hepatic TP53BP2, significantly increases the likelihood of serum HBsAg loss in CHB patients undergoing Peg-IFNa therapy. This finding not only provides an exciting predictor for HBsAg loss but identifies a potential therapeutic target for Peg-IFNa treatment. We believe our results are of great interest to a wide range of stakeholders, including patients and patient organizations, the medical community, academia, the life science industry, and the general public.

Immune responses and clinical outcomes after COVID-19 vaccination in patients with liver disease and in liver transplant recipients.

After three COVID-19 vaccines, patients with liver disease generally develop robust antibody and T cell responses to vaccination and have mild COVID-19. However, LTR have sustained no/low antibody titres and appear most vulnerable to severe disease. Impact and implications Standardised assessments of the immune response to different COVID-19 vaccines in patients liver disease are lacking. We performed antibody and T cell assays at multiple timepoints following up to three vaccine doses in a large cohort of patients with a range of liver conditions. Overall, the three most widely available vaccine platforms were immunogenic and appeared to protect against severe breakthrough COVID-19. This will provide reassurance to patients with chronic liver disease who were deemed at high risk of severe COVID-19 during the pre-vaccination era, however, liver transplant recipients had the lowest antibody titres and remained vulnerable to severe breakthrough infection. We also characterise the immune response to multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants and describe the interaction between disease type, severity, and vaccine platform. These insights may prove useful in the event of future viral infections which also require rapid vaccine development and delivery to liver patients.

Predicting survival in patients with 'non-high-risk' acute variceal bleeding receiving ß-blockers+ligation to prevent re-bleeding.

The majority of 'non-high-risk' patients with AVB have an excellent outcome, if treated according to current recommendations. However, about one fifth of patients, i.e., those with CTP =8 and/or high creatinine levels or hyponatremia, have a considerable risk of death within 1 year of the index bleed. Future clinical trials should investigate whether elective TIPS placement reduces mortality in these patients.
